Objects of devotion : religion in early America / by Manseau, Peter,author.(CARDINAL)348114;
Includes bibliographical references and index.New England -- The Mid-Atlantic -- The South -- Beyond the borders.Objects of Devotion: Religion in Early America tells the story of religion in the United States through the material culture of diverse spiritual pursuits in the nation's colonial period and the early republic. The beautiful, full-color companion volume to a Smithsonian National Museum of American History exhibition, the book explores the wide range of religious traditions vying for adherents, acceptance, and a prominent place in the public square from the 1630s to the 1840s. The original thirteen states were home to approximately three thousand churches and more than a dozen Christian denominations, including Anglicans, Baptists, Catholics, Congregationalists, Lutherans, Methodists, Presbyterians, and Quakers. A variety of other faiths also could be found, including Judaism, Islam, traditional African practices, and Native American beliefs. As a result, America became known throughout the world as a place where, in theory, if not always in practice, all are free to believe and worship as they choose. The featured objects include an 1814 Revere and Sons church bell from Salem, the Jefferson Bible, wampum beads, a 1654 Torah scroll brought to the New World, the only known religious text written by an enslaved African Muslim, and other revelatory artifacts. Together these treasures illustrate how religious ideas have shaped the country and how the treatment and practice of religion have changed over time. Objects of Devotion emphasizes how religion can be understood through the objects, both rare and everyday, around which Americans of every generation have organized their communities and built this nation.

Madonnas & miracles : the holy home in Renaissance Italy / by Corry, Maya,1984-editor.(CARDINAL)354845; Howard, Deborah,1946-editor.(CARDINAL)155612; Laven, Mary,1969-editor.(CARDINAL)354846; Fitzwilliam Museum,host institution.(CARDINAL)158775;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 185-191) and index.Introduction -- Family life -- The Madonna, Christ and the saints -- Practices of prayers -- Miracles and pilgrimage -- Reform and renewal.Madonnas and Miracles exposes a hidden world of religious devotion in the Italian Renaissance home. Challenging the idea of the Renaissance as an age of increasing worldliness, it shows how religion remained a powerful force that coloured every aspect of daily life. Across the length and breadth of Italy, houses were filled with decorative objects and works of art with spiritual significance, designed to aid members of the family in their devotional lives. A wide range of religious activities, from routine prayers to extraordinary experiences such as miracles and exorcisms, took place within the home, where they were adapted to key moments in the life-cycle, including birth, marriage, sickness and death. This illustrated publication explores a variety of devotional objects and images, from luxury items to everyday household goods. Bringing together jewellery and ceramics, manuscripts and printed books, sculpture and paintings, the book offers a vivid encounter with Renaissance spirituality and domesticity. The result is a new vision of a period in which the material world was charged with sacred power. Exhibition: Fitzwilliam Museum, Cambridge, UK (Spring 2017).Published on the occasion of an exhibition held at the Fitzwilliam Museum, Cambridge, England, March 7 - June 4, 2017.
